Giant Tortoises Can Travel FARTHER Than You Think!
Giant tortoises may look almost motionless, but over a lifetime they can travel enormous distances and repeat the same seasonal journeys for more than 100 years. They may usually move at only around 0.3–0.4 mph, but some can cover roughly four miles in a day when they’re on the move. ________________________________________________________________________________ Planning a trip to the Galápagos Islands? 🏝️ Paul McFarling is a Galápagos guide and tour organiser with over 30 years of experience helping travellers explore the islands, wildlife, landscapes, and natural history of this extraordinary destination.
